Blood Donations
Start Wednesday
Student donation of blood for
military urn- in Korea will take
place between 11 a m. and 3 p.m.
Wednesday and Thursday in the
Student Union Ballroom of the SU. :
Pledge cards, which may be
urned in at the main desk of the
SU. may be returned any time
jefore or during the collection of
he blood by the Red Cross mobile
jnil from Portland.
Etruned Prom Classes
Students will be excused from
rlasses to donate the blood. Druids, |
jimior men's honorary, will visit !
male freshman dormitoriea tonight
:o distribute pledge cards.
The drive is being sponsored by
;he campus Red Cross in coopera
tion with the nation-wide Red
Dross program to augment the ex
eting stocks. The national pro
gram was undertaken when the
total available supply of blood
plasma in Korea was reduced to a
(even days' supply with no reserve
ror a possible emergency.
The blood is needed for wounded
>r injured combatants. When a
man is wounded, natural blood
plasma and cells escape around the
ft-qpimd into the tissues, reducing
the amount of blood returned to
he heart and distributed to the
•ystem.
Oxygen Supply Falls Off
Oxygen supply to the tissue
'alls off, shock sets in, and the
irain and other vital organs are af
'ected.
If lost blood can be replaced
juickly, the oxygen deficiency is
;orrected and the shock cycle pre
sented. The best treatment is
A'hole blood, but it can be preserv
ed for only 21 days.
Next best is plasma, which can
be dried into powder and stored
for five years without refi .gela
tion.

2,000 Students
Welcome Ducks
More than 2,000 .students at
tended a rally held at the railway
depot Sunday night to welcome the
Oregon team back from their game
with College of Pacific.
Students began arriving at the
depot about 8 p.m. although the
train carrying the team and coach
ing staff did not arrive until al
most 8:45 p.m. Impromptu songs
and yells and the roll call of living
organizations filled the waiting;
period.
The arrival of the team was
marked by rally squad-led yells.
The crowd sang the Oregon fight
song.
A flat bed truck containing four I
men went by Carson before the
rally and took a group of girls
down to the depot. On the return
trip, the truck carried Newman
and several other rally squad mem
bers.
As they arrived on campus, the
truck owners asked Newman if he
knew who he was riding with. He
replied he didn't. They revealed
that they were Oregon State stu
dents. Newman’s only comment
was, "Well, I'll be darned.”

ording to O. W. Trapp, tour man- !
ager,
"It's not so much that they know !
what they like, but rather they like '
what they know," Maj. William F.
Santelmann, leader of the band,
once said when asked the secrctof
his formula for program building.
A typical program includes a
symphony, a composition by an !
American composer, a light classic,
an overture, a specia larrangement
of a popular work, and a march.
Major Santelmann believes that
marches still stimulate the great
est audience reaction.

The campus radio station began
operation on April 4, 1951, under
the direction of Station Manager
Jack Vaughn. Behind the intiat
broadcast lay a long series of prob
lems met and solved.
The FM station was originally
named KDUK, but a Federal Com
munications Commission ruling
prevented this, so it was named
KWAX. The station was delayed

livery of equipment and would-be
radio performers were forced to
present their dramas in a limited
manner over station KOAC in Cor
vallis.
Then, as equipment began to ar- ■
rive, Feb. 14 was scheduled as the
opening date for the campus sta
tion pending final construction,
equipment testing, program testing
and FCC approval. An opening
night complete with “live" talent
was planned. But a railroad-:
switchmen's strike and consequen
tial delay in delivery of a 20-foot
section of coaxial cable cancelled- •
all previous plans.

were approved by the FCC. Nearly
$1,500 had been spent for facilities -
of the new station and re-modele'k*
studios were available on the third
floor of Villard.
On April 4 the long-awaited 1
broadcast was presented. A speciaV •
dedictatory program including a
description of standard program:* -
to be aired over KWAX. the his
tory and progress of station, a
quiz program, a tape-recorded
"sing" and special messages of
congratulation were featured on
the initia broadcast.
The long struggle for a Univer
sity radio station, the idea origin
ating in 1921, had paid off.
Through the efforts of members of
Kappa Rho Omicron, radio honor
ary, who collected nearly $2000 in
donated breakage fees, and the
work of radio-interested students,
Oregon had KWAX.
This term KWAX will feature
candid interviews in the "fish
bowl" of the Student Union, special
foreign student shows, seminars,
record programs, Emerald news
casts and sports shows. Weekly
dramas will be presented, offering
acting opportunities for students.
Programs aimed at alumni are also
planned.
